Ingredients
12 oz egg noodles
2 lbs ground beef
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
2½ cups whole milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional but recommended)
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (for a hint of depth)
½ cup sour cream
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
Push beef to the side and add butter to the pan. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook 1–2 minutes until golden.
Slowly pour in beef broth and milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika.
Simmer the sauce until it thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in sour cream and remove from heat.
Add cooked noodles and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
